Fields Without Fences, Frenchtown, NJ (2026)

On our farm, located within the Delaware River watershed, we cultivate fruits, nuts, medicinal herbs, and wild edibles within naturalized plantings that are inspired by the wild ecology. Through site specific design, we integrate approaches found in environmental restoration, permaculture design, and regenerative agriculture to create low input, self-renewing, agroecological systems that naturally restore health and integrity to our shared landscape. Beyond our fields, we bring these practices to our consulting and design work with farmers, landowners, and organizations. Inspired by a philosophy that recognizes all elements are integral to an interconnected planet, we approach landscapes as interdependent ecosystems, out of which the well being of all is reflected in the health and functionality of the whole. We bring this mindful holistic approach to everything we do, from the products we craft, to the programs and services we offer.

Keynote Speakers 🌱
Lindsay Napolitano & Johann Rinkens are the co-owners of fields without fences, a 45 acre certified organic agroforestry farm & agroecology consulting service working at the intersection of ecological restoration and agricultural production.

Lindsay and Johann present "Grow Like the Forest" on Saturday 9/26 York PawPaw Agricultural & Arts Festival | 2026

How do we garden like the forest, where diverse plant and animal species interact in a state of natural symbiosis? Grounded in permaculture principles, this integrated approach to gardening utilizes perennial polycultures, organized by physical structure and ecological niche, to produce an abundance of food, flowers, plant medicine, and wildlife habitat. Join Lindsay Napolitano and Johann Rinkens of Fields Without Fences as we explore the world of forest gardens across the landscape, farm, and home garden . So much more than a growing technique, forest gardens teach us about the potential of thoughtful reflection, understanding, and cooperation for creating powerful synergy in our lives and landscapes!

Someone rang us up one day and asked if we’d travel to an enchanted place called the Magic Forest Farm to spend the weekend teaching, dining on sweet succulent pawpaws, and partaking in some real life merrymaking as a parade of troubadours play on the wind… I’ve always considered it bad form to turn down lively invitations from spirited forest fae, so naturally we agreed.

Friends! Please consider this your invitation.
